I've got a Beseler 45MXII with condensor head, that I'm thinking of trading in o n a dichroic Omega D5 or D5XL. I've always been happy with Omega enlargers (thou gh I've never owned a recent model, just an ancient DII), and the only reason I picked up this Beseler is because it was super cheap, I got it from a newspaper that didnt want it laying around anymore. I've only used it for a couple months, and it works just fine although it is unwieldy. My question is, before I trade this in, is there anything that you think Beselers excel at, more so than Omega? I dont HAVE to trade it in because I found an Omega thats pretty darn cheap, bu t I'm not rich either. If theres some reason I might regret trading it in, I'd l ike to know beforehand. One thing that has come to mind is that it can be conver ted to an 8x10, and you cant do that with an Omega. Other than that, I cant thin k of anything. Since I want to go dichroic, thats another issue. I've heard the Beseler heads are rather expensive, and I've heard mixed reviews of them
